I will have to call. I have a set of 6.625" that I was contemplating putting in a road race car, but not sure how they'd hold up. Supposedly they don't handle decel well? Don't know, but the HP/rpm would be way below what they're rated for (450hp, 6500rpm). From what I can gather, they're around 35-40g lighter than the lightweight I-beams out there, want to couple them with the lightest pistons I can find and an aluminum flywheel for maximum responsiveness...

I'm trying to think if I've ever heard of a BME rod breaking...
